Code and Slides: Building the Account at a Glance ASP.NET MVC, EF Code First, HTML5, and jQuery Application
This presentation was given at the spring 2012 DevConnections conference in Las Vegas and is based on my Pluralsight course. The presentation shows how several different technologies including ASP.NET MVC, EF Code First, HTML5, jQuery, Canvas, SVG, JavaScript patterns, Ajax, and more can be integrated together to build a robust application. An example of the application in action is shown next:

Building the Account at a Glance HTML5/jQuery Application
As Web technologies continue to evolve developers are required to learn new technologies in order to build successful web-based applications that stand above the crowd. This can be a challenging proposition especially for developers moving from desktop or Rich Internet Application (RIA) development frameworks. To help developers learn the latest HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript technologies, we built a sample application for demonstration at Microsoft’s MIX 11 conference called “Account at a Glance” (download the app below) which we’re now able to (finally) release. The application takes advantage of key web technologies and uses them to display brokerage account information to consumers.

Using Autofac as an IoC Container in Silverlight Applications
The subject of Dependency Injection (DI) and Inversion of Control (IoC) containers has received a lot of attention over the last few years. Building applications that are loosely coupled has become more and more popular (and for good reason) especially in applications that have a lot of dependencies that could break over time or need to handle the addition of new modules seamlessly. From a personal standpoint I fall somewhere in the middle of the overall DI argument. I definitely feel that DI has its place and personally use the general pattern in applications but also feel that some use DI in ways that seem to make applications overly complex and more difficult to maintain in the future. My opinion on the subject really doesn’t matter here though since this post is about using an IoC container framework in Silverlight applications.
